Our Recommendation

The right side offers a superior panoramic view of the South China Sea coastline and the intricate, industrial landscape of the Pearl River Delta during the descent.

Right Side Highlights
7.8
🌊

Beibu Gulf Coastline

Expansive views of the shallow coastal waters and aquaculture farms along the southern Guangxi shore.

🏗️

Maoming & Yangjiang Ports

Observe the massive scale of industrial shipping and energy infrastructure along the Guangdong coast.

🌉

Pearl River Network

A complex web of interconnected waterways, bridges, and shipping lanes that define the PRD economy.

🏢

Foshan and Panyu Skylines

As the flight nears Guangzhou, witness the incredible urban density of these southern districts.

Highly recommended for afternoon flights to witness the sunset over the South China Sea. During descent into Baiyun Airport, keep your eyes peeled for the major bridges crossing the Pearl River and the sprawling Nansha Port area.

Left Side Highlights
7.2
🏙️

Beihai Cityscape

A clear view of the Beihai peninsula and the famous Silver Beach shortly after takeoff.

⛰️

Guangxi Karst Hills

The northern horizon features the lush, rolling green peaks and limestone formations typical of the region.

🐉

Xijiang River

Follow the winding path of the West River as it snakes through the valley towards the delta.

🏡

Zhaoqing Outskirts

View of the Star Lake area and the rural-urban transition of western Guangdong.

Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid the harsh glare of the southern sun. This side is ideal for spotting the transition from the karst mountains of Guangxi into the flatter plains of the Pearl River Delta.
